Fifth Ward and Elder.

raA -T "V it" Editor Pallajdiux;:! 1 Allow me tovqpyi a few Words mote about the 5th JCFard, and to notice a little what was said in yoor last paper- by-El V der.- JThe charge that I wilfully misrep . resented the facts in the case, demands my attention, probably morethanany'thing; that he saidr J. have no expectation of ever accomplishing any good by .thimeans.misrepTesentation,' and had . I not been the instrument through which this petition for creating ia'-newrWard was presented to the' council, 1:4 should not have appeared in print upon the sob jecVat all.' , Aiid when I did appear, it wasonly to give notice how our petition had! been handled in council, and bur rights tampered with by Elder in carrying the'petition in his breeches pocket ; he, Elder, being chairman of the committee to whom the petition was referred. Let lis see if I did 'wilfully misrepresent' the facts.- At the last meeting of ; the Council,' a: committee- from a public meeting waited upon the Council to try to have them take some action upon the petition, and the question came up as to where the petition was ? - The Mayor, after deliberating in a manner that look ed, like his last sleep, decided that the petition was in the hands of the commit tee;! whereupon rEIder asked further tim'e( to report them. : From the state ment of bcth Young' and Elder, I did not 'wilfully' r misrepresent the" facts: The hightli of my offending, mast have been that I stated that he had the peti tion in ' his breeches 7 pocket, when it might have been at Charley Leive's, or in his hat, or some other placed It wa put in his pbssessionis'now in 'his pos session; and will remain 5in his posses sion until il will be too late to submit it . t ! f r to "a vote of the people by any action of the Council the action'of the Couucil being by a "strict party vote not to meet until the next regular meeting at which time itrwill be too late to act upon the question of submitting it to a vote cf tha people at the Election on the 4th of May. The question being settled that I made no wilful misrepresentation, and ' the object of Elder, Young fe Co being so perfectly transparent ? and evident that sober men cannot fail to see it is for and in the interest of Democracy! I leave the subject and say In answer to Elder's attempt at irony an ridicule, the highest estimate that' I "have ever placed upon any of ray acts, either pub lic or private, is that they were honestly performed and that I have always been sober when performing them. These may be, and, (judging from Elder's con duct in uouncil,; are, ingredients that he is totally unacquainted with. I shall not do so foolish a thing as tovote for myself as Dictator, there being no vacancy' in that" office Elder, himself, holding over yet another year. But' I do expect to be that other kind of a fool, and vote 'for the 'new Ward ' petitioned for; even though 'it may not have been submitted to the people by any act of the city Council Law abiding citizens, pursuing"' a lawful -object by lawful means, complying -with' all lawful re quirements ehould not be defeated by such chucIcU-keaded Motes as Jim Elder even though he may be in a position of authority, he is not, therefore, supreme. And I say now, in all candor, that the action, of the majority of that committee, with jim Elder at its head, are guilty of the high' crime of tampering with the rights of men. The plea that the petition was not in the .committees', hands, it having been withdrawn by one of. the petitioners, is simply, contemptible. Elder gives the lie to his own statement by asking further time to report upon it. xpung makes Iiim a liar in deciding it to be; in. his hands. , The petition was ; withdrawn by Mr. Payne for correction by the consent of the' eommittse corrected at once, and returned to the com mittee by the city Cierk. . Nobody but a perjured fool would ver; offer-so contemptable ;a'plea. - In consideration of ' which", I . hereby issue " this . ray ' second f'pronunciameritb.'' S. R. Wiaoiss. , . ') , .. - " . r , For the Palladium . 1 MR. EpiTOR&--It appears to me that a mighty ."pother is being raised, in consequence of the Council's action in regard to the division of the 3rd Ward, and a vast deal of vitality wasted for . naught, when it is taken into consideration that the course pursued bythe majority of the Council war, as a . member of that body informed me, merely intended .as 'an eye opener' a good joke in order to show the Republicans that their little political scheme of Ward making for the benefit solely of their, " party, could . be turned to democratic account, and thus show ' them how a 1 democratic Ward could be manufactured out of a portion of the same cloth, and with quite as lit tie labor. As a citizen, I do not want our city cut op into smaller Wards, the expense would over-run the profit even if a democratic triumph should be se- . cured ' thereby ; and, as a democrat, I intend to vote against all increase of the ' number f Wards, until our population justifies it.: This, .IeMeve, is the determination, of , every democrat - .with - whom I have conversed on the subject ; and the general opinion of every sensi ble man is that the special committee did a very foolish, . thing, in failing to ; report on the 7 tk Street proposition and ' having it laid before the people at the coming election ; for T candidly believe',

httdthey done so, that the People, with

out regard to party would jjave defcided against it by an overwhelming majority, asthey did two years ago. if ff m - ; A 2d Ward JJemoCKat. XWhi 2d Ward Democrat, no donbt. is honest in declaring hit intentions, and no .doubt, will, vote asphe'Says;. yet the plea he puts forth, of playing off a 'good joke, fcc, by the heavy chairman of that special committee, is a joke in itself that the 'littlejoker himself mrght upprecw ate! -: Under the circumstances, the plea set p in behalf of the majority of the Council? will, we opine,-avaiU equal to the one set up by the fellow who stole a pair of boots. He was arrested,- brought before a "magistrate, and put in-the plea that he t6ok the boots by way of a joke. It was ascertained on trial that r-he had taken the "boots about three squares hefore he was arrested by! the 'officer, and the Court decided that he bad 'carried the joke too far,' and he was" committed. This Council 'joke has been carried a little too far, to be now turned into a laugh, unless the laugh 'comes in' when the 7th st. ward petition was decided by Mayor Yotruo to be in the breeches pocket of the chairman of -the special committee! The democracy of our city have placed themselves in a - predicament, in order to perpetrate a' .'joke, that turns out too serious and 'hefty' for them; and fearing the pesky republicans will unite all over the city . on . party grounds and vote vp the 7th street prop, osition, and vote down thej Vine ous joke,' they, are now all opposed to making new wards, in a horn!' ; The fact is, the action of the special committee has taised a political Treeze, not laid dOwn'iu its .reconing, and, ; unless it is stilled by the 'joke' plea, it will blow the democratic majority , out of the City Councilrand place a republican majority in its stead.. That will be the effect of just such legislative fun as has been in dulged in by Messrs. Elder, McGirr & Co. the Council. "practical jokers of the City , Is it not Strange? , Philadelphia, like NewT England, seems to be . exterminating: the native gentility. ' In that city there were 4,417 marriages and 17,271 births" in 1861,- or nearly - four births to each! marriage. while in 1868 there were 6,371 marria ges ana u,loM birtns, showing an in crease of about forty:four per cent, cf marriages, but a positive decrease of births! Four births to each ' marriage in 1861, and only 2 7 10 in 1868! If the gentility, as they dwindle down, could not be kept up by persons from the middle and poor classes, these facts would give some foundation for hope Is it not, strange- the , ambition to be come so enervatingly; and destructively genteel r Ho, for Kansas! The advance guard of a colony of set tiers from New York arrived; at -Atchi son, Kansas, last Saturday..' Jt is called the 'Excelsior Colony,' and 'numbers about 250 persons, 100 of whom have a.r rived. They have such articles of far niture as pioneers need, money for common use, tents to dwell in until they can do better. On Mpndoy they left . Atcbi son for Waterville, whence parties are to 'be sent out to look for a location. Oilier colonies are expected within few- days. The advance guard of Danish colony has purchased a tract on the Kickapoo Reserve, at an expense of over 80,000, and the whole colony wa3 expected this week. &till another Dan ish colony is making arrangements for a settlement. Major Downs leads the Excelsior colony, and he seems to be preparing for a large business in leading out emigrants to Kansas during the summer. Ho, all ve land sharks there is a fine chance, for . much money, with out earning it in that direction! :?! Wedded JLotc. If there be one thing most thought of, talked aboub and dreamed over, it surely is love. It is in the heart, on the tonsru3. and smites out of the face. It is the diviner influence within one's nature, warming to better things.:. So long as maa or woman can love anything, father, mother, wife, child, dog or memo ry,-Mhere is hope for him or her, however debased We come to look out of ourselTes through lore. And there is so much of beauty and joy all around us, tha wiea we look away from self we cannot help seeing somewhat of it, and being profited. . Some one who has thought earnestly on this sub Ject, it sounds very much like Beecher, whose largo heart is in near sympathy with ' all humanity, bas written thus of wedded love: ; - My young maiden friend, love is not a passion, but a groicth. The heart is a lamp, with just oil enough to burn for an hour. If there be mo oil to put in i again,; it will go out. God's grace U the oil that fill the lamp of love. If there be one thing above ail others that every woman should say to herself, the beginning of her married life, it is this: "I can not be respected and loved, as I must needs be, to be happy," unless I can bring some thing store than my eelf. It must be God in ms, that shall maintain me in that dignity, influence and impressiveness that shall whi and keep iny husband's, love." ; A godless oman entering into the marriage relation, goe as a lamb to the s'aughter. Wreaths of flowers may be around her neck, but the knife is not far off. - '" Desecration of love is the saddest' thing on earth. There is nothing, it seems to . me, that touches .the contemplative heart more than this: to see what love might be, if its early days be prophets of possibility i and then see what' it is? More thau'rbr'anTthing else in the world, love fails for the want of food,knd no food is there for love but goodness Love can no more burn without goodness than the flame without fuel. The sorrows that must go with you through all your life, or break constantly upon you, somewhere, cannot be borne without God's ministering angels. As your household grows around you, and your children begin to feel the tide of life, and you become, In turn, their guides, as your parents were yours, yon will find that no one can bear life well who has, not, somewhere, the : present., "help in time -of trouble.", . :, . , .',. i . .. . If there be anything that yon ng wedded love should bave as its first vision, it should be a Vision of a ladder between the earth and heaven, 'and the angels of God-EKending and descending, and- God, over all, blessing it. Then there is hope. Begin your household life Begin your wedded life with a firm hold wpori God,!and purify, and heavenand there is bope fer youj otherwise sad is jroor'fater i'-t The Government is selling ordnance stores at auction io St. Louis. :' w i !

If there be examples of men regenerated "by a a. o single experience, these are so rare as only to prove the general rule of patient progression.

It is about seventeen feet highland growing taller every day. I bought that of our friend Downing at cw burg, for a flowering shrub, which was to bear an odorous blossom, and nt: tain its full growth at about four feet ! It always reminds me, continued Mr. Irving, 'of a lady whom I knew in Eng : land, who purchased of a dog-fancier a fine, soft, glossy King Charles' spaniel, of which she made a great pet, and led and pampered him more than was for hi3 good ; ?for after :every meal he suffered extreme pain running around and moaning in the most- piteou3 manner; and one day, after a more than usual hearty repast, he burst his tight fitting ' jacket and ' came out a stout English ; bull-pup ! My flowering-shrub has gone through a similar metamorphosis. , : Mr. Irving's anecdotes of the distinguished personages whom he had met .in his long residence abroaa which were never slugged in by ear and horn,' but alwaj's sprang from the occasion -were replete with interest.

Thus she as sumed official " dignity when about thirty years of age, and wore the honors about eight ' years. ' The old chronicles 'say that she "satt herself upon the bench, as heridetarie ' Sheriff of Westmorland, upon tryals of life and death, an hon'or which no woman in this kingdom has hitherto attained but herself. Anne, Countess of Pembroke, was ' also hereditary Sheriff of the" same countfY after the death of her second husband the Earl of Pembroke and Montgom-r ery in 1650, but in her Case the duties of the office were performod by a male deputy We have evidence, therefore, that Woman La done official service in other capacities than those of eal ously swaying a ceptre, or idly wearing a crown j and surely what has been, may be.

In Death They Were Xot Divided.' ! . From the St. Louis Times. f The death of a Miss Jackson of this city, on Thursday of last week, was tolT - ' ' - - . ' - owed by that of Mr. W. L..Hudgens the Saturday ' following. The former peacefully breathed her last after a long and Gainful illness ; the latter in a paroxysm of grief burst a blood vessel and died almost instantly. The deceased were bethrothed, and the "consummation of their dreams of love had been deferred. from time -; to time, until, finally, Miss Jackson was prostrated by sickness. ; Unwilling,' even then to be debarred her presence,. Mr. H.' , w&s admitted to the sick room, where none were more at tentive to the every want of the sufferer than himself, so far as the delicacy of his position would permit. A sister of Miss Jackson was, for days and nights, the shearer of his watchfulness. Her more feeble - nature, however, sunk un der the burden of fatigue and ' sleepless apprehension, which she vainly struggled to sustain, and at last Mr. Hudgens was left alone, with barely the assistance of a servant. The object of his solicitude and devotion, day by day, be came more feeble. He scarcely left her bedside. Sleep became a stranger to his eyesandi even food was put away by him. But even such devotion could not turn the(penetrating barb of death, and finally the eyes of the sufferer closed forever upon the tearful face ever, above her, and her hand grew cold and - rigid in death while yet in the warm clasp of tus, iu w.iwu , n? u uuitiy ue given in me ana tove. . j.nis was on xuursday.

Singing, - Pantomines and Tableaux were also a portion of the programme '-' Short addresses were delivered byjothefs, xtnd then came a. beautiful dialogue by two young ladies, entitled 'Night andMorcing, and this at once carried the spectator back to that memorable, point in the Bible, ."And.
